Pearland Amputation Attorney

Dismemberment Lawyer

Traumatic injuries sometimes result in amputations. Losing a limb can cause more severe economic stress for the survivors and their families than most other types of accidents. In addition to medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and expensive prosthetics, amputations can result in a life-long loss of earnings and earning potential depending on the survivor’s occupation. Furthermore, accidents that result in amputation can create many emotional and physiological issues for the survivors and their family members. This can dramatically increase the time and cost of recovery for everyone involved.

Amputation Injuries

Amputations are usually divided into two categories – lower limb and upper limb. Some of the most common types of amputations are:

Lower Limb Amputations
Partial foot amputation
Ankle disarticulation
Below the knee amputation (transtibial)
Through the knee
Above the Knee (transfemoral)
Hip disarticulation
Hemipelvectomy (Transpelvic)

Upper Limb Amputations
Partial hand amputation
Metacarpal amputation
Wrist disarticulation
Below the elbow amputation (transradial)
Elbow disarticulation
Above the elbow amputation (transhumeral)
Shoulder disarticulation and forequarter amputation

Although many types of accidents can result in amputations, some common causes of amputations are
large truck accidents such as 18-wheeler accidents and garbage truck accidents. Another frequent cause of amputations is accidents involving pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists that are hit by motor vehicles.

Work Related Amputation Injuries

Injuries at work are the second leading cause of amputations. Although
traumatic injuries resulting in amputation or dismemberment can occur at any work place, they frequently occur at refineries, chemical plants, factories, and construction sites, especially those that use heavy machinery.

Sometimes the amputation will occur immediately after the accident or trauma. Other times, complications during surgery and/or infections can cause a partial or full amputation weeks or even months after the original accident. In these types of cases, the at-fault individuals and companies will almost always deny any responsibility for subsequent and future medical care.
